How to Give to the Library

Gifts of cash are the easiest and one of the most effective ways to give to the Library. However, you and your financial advisors may wish to explore other options available to you. These options may help you achieve your wishes to ensure that the Library will continue to meet and enhance its mission "to inform, empower, inspire, and entertain, and encourage respect for individuals and ideas."

• Gifts of Life Insurance may be made in the form of a new policy or an existing policy.  Premiums paid by the donor on a donated life insurance policy may qualify for tax deductions.  If you currently own a policy that is paid in full, you may donate it.
• Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets can be arranged through naming the Pikes Peak Library District as a beneficiary on your retirement plan or IRA.  This option is especially effective in helping to you as it may result in estate or inheritance tax savings.
• Life Income Gifts can be made through charitable trusts.  These arrangements may result in income and estate tax savings while providing an annual income to you, your family or others.  

We will be happy to talk with you about how you can make a gift to the Library.  We hope you will consider the many options available to you.  Please be sure to consult with your financial and tax advisors for more information.  We also welcome calls from your advisors.
